A
weird cop/killer thriller directed and produced by
William Webb("Party Line"/"Target"/"The
Hit List"). It's too slasher film routine to be great,
but its central idea is a great one. It's based on a
story by Dana
Augustine, William Webb & Richard Brandes.
Dana
Augustine writes the
screenplay.

LA
musclebound and wealthy investment banker Spaulding
Osbourne (Duncan Regehr)
is bored. For perverse kicks, in his free time at
night, he paints his face to look like a SA Indian and
the predatory banker by day then goes hunting at night
on a killing and mutilating spree of hookers using a
laser-sight crossbow. The psycho believes in the SA
blood gods and that he can't be killed and that his
life mission is collecting souls. In other word, if
you don't get he's nuts from his day job, you can't
miss he's nuts from the way he spends his free time at
night.

The
ex-Playboy-mate and future porn film star, Teri
Weigel, does a nude dance and is the film's first
hooker vic.

Richard
Roundtree plays the police captain
who supervises the investigation of the killer.

Dan’s
TV reporter ex-wife Sharon Maxwell (Shanna Reed) goes
on-air ranting about the unsafe streets because of a
homicidal maniac on the loose. She thereby gets a
promotion from her producer boss Fred (Michael
Fairman) and brings her anti-crime campaign to TV as a
news show anchor. Her ex-hubby frets she put herself
in danger, and they reunite in this time of danger.

Leif
Garrett plays the low-life pimp
feeding the hookers to the powerful banker.

Jeff
Conway plays a pimp who to his detriment can't tell
the crazed banker the names of the Seven Dwarves.

The
crossbow murder of stripper Melanie
(Deborah Richter) gives the cops the big clue
they were hoping for.

The
cop procedural part bogs the story down and the tame
direction leaves the pic with little energy, but it
has an appeal to those who favor unique cult films for
the way it turns campy and the grotesque but appealing
performance by its possessed evil villain.
